As filed

Compared to last week steers sold steady to 5.00 lower and heifers sold 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Demand was moderate for calves and feeders with good demand for pairs. Sharply lower CME and CBOT boards most of the day took some steam off of Wednesday feeder cattle sale. Also, only one load lot on the day so buyers had to piece together packages of cattle to make loads. Overall quality was not as attractive as last week. Next calf and feeder cattle sale will be June 1.
